Please remember that this is a FAQ database about Papua New Guinea.

Doing a search for PNG or New Guinea or even P.N.G will probably not return
much. Keep the search simple. i.e. if you want to find out the population
simply enter "population" without the quotes. There is no need to have
PNG / P.N.G or whatever in the search string.

Also - Spelling is important
searching for 'inkom' will not return items related to 'income'. If you are searching
Lady Carol Kidu just enter Carol Kidu or even Kidu. You are not searching the WWW only
these FAQ's so the topic has already been narrowed to PNG related topics for you.
